Even if the job market is tough it's still much better to reject good candidate and leave your team understaffed rather then to give to them someone who'll drag them back.
That depends entirely on how understaffed your team is, in both relative and absolute terms. A team making no progress because it has too few members and they are all off sick is a team with an effective zero members.

No. It really does not. I've seen this reasoning applied few times when we hired candidate we had doubts about and in almost all cases this was a mistake.

Yes. But such team is still just making zero progress. With a bad enough employees team will make negative progress instead which is worse then zero.
